5 extra minutes
Still working in the General Health area of our homes:
This area is the epitome of balance of the yin and yang energies. If your physical body is in balance, you can “give it your all” and achieve everything you set out to do. This area reaches out and touches all the other eight guas of the home.
Declutter activity for today:
Take a minute to look around the areas of your house. Which area still needs a little extra work? Set your timer for five minutes and get to work decluttering and balancing that area. You know what needs to be done!
After five minutes, stop! That’s it for today!
Note from twofeathers:
I wanted an image to illustrate this post, so I put the words “5 extra minutes” into a yahoo search for images and came up with this! The web page title is: Villa with pool at 5 star Altea holiday resort.
And I thought.. wow. This is the kind of thing we are working towards as we work the Prosperity Project. This is the carrot at the end of the stick. So I decided to post it with the suggestion that as we clean, we remember WHY we are cleaning.

Symbols and Anchors for your Center
Feng Shui activity for today:
Add a symbol to the Health area.
Earth is the element for the center. Add a healthy plant to this area. Include things made of earth here – china, ceramics, clay tiles or pots, bricks, natural stone flooring.
A bowl of fresh fruit symbolizes good luck, prosperity, hospitality and health.
Laughter is the best medicine. Place anything you find funny here – blooper videos, pictures of yourself and friends in fun moments, gag gifts. If it brings a smile to your face, it belongs here, so you can place a child’s hand-drawn picture or an old love letter here.
The shape for this area is square, and horizontal or flat items also belong here. Triangular or pyramid-shaped objects work here.
Symbols of earth, such as a globe, pictures of mountains, crystals belong here. They ground you and put you in touch with Mother Earth.
Fire works here, so if your fireplace is in this area, that’s great. Candles will also work. Stars and sun symbols should be here – sunflowers, sundials, pictures of sunrise or sunset, starfish, the Star of David, the Stars and Stripes.
Any religious object you connect with works here.
